Hi all,
   The birding was good this morning at Lake Artemesia. I spent most of my
time there watching a single large and accommodating warbler flock. I got
good eye-level looks at all the species identified. I also had one Least
Sandpiper today and dozen or so on Saturday. The water is even lower than it
was before the rains a few weeks ago. In fact, there was a small
turtle-covered island in the middle of the lake.

Highlights and rough numbers estimates: 
  Least Sandpiper - 1

  Northern Parula - 5
  Yellow Warbler - 1 
  Chestnut-sided Warbler - 2 (one with actual chestnut)
  Magnolia Warbler - 5
  Black-throated Blue Warbler - 1
  Black-throated Green Warbler - 2
  Blackburnian Warbler - 2
  American Redstart - 5
  Common Yellowthroat - 1
